The MusicLink Foundation, working as a pipeline organization for the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, is seeking talented music students in financial need who may qualify for the Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award.

2. Perform on a live taping of From the Top's National Public Radio show; and

3. Participate in a Cultural Leadership workshop in order to create and implement his/her own performance outreach activity.

Eligibility is limited to pre-college classical musicians (ages 8-18). Student applicants must be interested in appearing on From the Top's popular National Public Radio show, and demonstrate:

1. Exceptional musical talent;

2. Unmet financial need; and

3. Strong academic achievement.
